Aztec Correct Behavior

Correct Behavior: The Aztecs were very concerned that all their citizens behave correctly. Children were taught correct behavior in the Aztec schools. 

How to behave correctly was written down. These were not guidelines. Correct behavior was the law. Should you break the law, you could be killed. 

The Aztecs had a code of behavior for everything. Here is a list of some correct behavior:

• Do not mock the old
• Do not mock the sick
• Do not mock one who has sinned
• Do not set a bad example
• Do not interrupt the speech of another
• If you are asked something, reply soberly and without affection or flattery or prejudice to others
• Do not make wry faces
• Wherever you go, walk with a peaceful air
• Only nobles may carry a fan
• Do not complain
